Join master printmaker Gabriela Martínez for a workshop on how printmaking can harness the power of visual language for social justice and activism. Participants will be introduced to the basics of printmaking using common, accessible materials. The workshop will begin by establishing a visual vocabulary using personal, political and culturally relevant symbols and slogans based on our online exhibition Angela Davis: Outspoken. Because this event is a virtual, hands-on workshop featuring individual instruction, guidance and feedback, capacity is limited to 20 attendees. Upon registration, participants will be sent a recommended materials list, including household items and suggestions for affordable items that can be purchased. Additionally, participants will receive a recorded video introduction from Martínez.
